Pregnant Posh relaxes with a movie-filled weekend as her July due date approaches

She's used to regular jet-setting trips across the Atlantic, attending glitzy A-list parties and busy business meetings with her design team.

But just two weeks out from her July due date, Victoria Beckham appears to be starting to slow down her hectic schedule.

The pregnant star, 37, spent the weekend at the cinema, taking in two family films - Cars 2 and Mr Popper's Penguins - with husband David and their three sons.

A fresh-faced Victoria and David were pictured at the after-party for Pixar film Cars 2 on Saturday.

The couple watched the animated film with their children Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, six.

They posed with one of the film's stars, Daniel Lawrence Whitney - aka Larry the Cable Guy - and his wife Cara Whitney.

Victoria also told fans on Twitter that the family had also watched new Jim Carrey flick Mr Popper's Penguins over the weekend.

'We took the boys to see Mr Poppers Penguins and it's great!!' she tweeted. 'The boys loved it!!!! A really good family movie x VB'

With just a fortnight left before she is due to give birth to the couple's first daughter on July 4, it is understandable that the designer is finally opting for quiet outings with her family over her usually hectic showbusiness lifestyle.

The couple shunned the red carpet at Saturday's Cars 2 premiere, leaving Owen Wilson, Nicole Scherzinger and Sheryl Crow to lap up the limelight, and sneaked out via the back door after making a brief appearance at the after-party.

And it seems that the family are ensuring that their lifestyle is as relaxing as possible after their baby arrives too.

According to reports, the Beckhams have rented a luxury home on the beach at Malibu to spend the summer in.

The sprawling estate overlooks the ocean and includes a large pool where the family can wile away their summer and enjoy quality time with their newest addition.
